Cody's Original Roadhouse closed May 3 and Ocala-based Mojo Grill and Catering Company will be moving in with a planned opening in September at 3100 Archer Road.

Owner Rondo Fernandez said he has always wanted to be on Archer Road in Gainesville and heard about the property's availability from the Cody's franchisee, who lives in Ocala.

Fernandez, who previously owned Rondo's in Ocala, recently opened a Mojo Grill in Belleview and will open a second Ocala location July 1. He also owns two Heart and Soul Southern Kitchen restaurants.

Mojo Grill features Delta blues music and decor with a menu that includes burgers, empanadas, a Cuban pork dinner, Cajun chicken pasta, and shrimp and grits, among other items. Entrees range from $7.99 to $13.99.

“We do a ton of charity work here in town. We're really excited to be a part of Gainesville's community as well,” Fernandez said.

Cody's opened in December 2010. A franchise representative would not say why it closed.

Genghis Grill

Cody's next-door neighbor Genghis Grill also closed this month at 3208 Archer Road. A spokeswoman for the Dallas-based company did not return a call for comment and one of the property owners said he did not know why the restaurant closed.

Genghis Grill opened in the former Bennigan's in 2010.

Relish

Relish is planning a July 1 opening of its third location, this one at 3822 Newberry Road in Plaza Royale.

Following its near-campus and downtown locations, owner Rob Roche said the location is good to capture customers between Northwest 34th Street and Interstate 75 and movie-goers from the nearby theater.

Roche said Relish has carved a niche within the growing “better burger business” by offering Subway-style customization with quality ingredients in a quick-serve environment.

The location previously housed Coffee Culture, which remains open at its Northwest 13th Street location.

Adam's Rib

Adam's Rib Co.'s two locations are now closed on Sundays.

Adam Brewer said he and his wife, Michele, wanted to invite their staff to be with their families and go to church.

“We've been praying about it for quite some time and talking it over with other Christian business owners in the area,” Brewer said. “On Mother's Day, we pulled the trigger on it.”
